Abstract: The focus of this book has been on exploring the key concepts, knowledge and skills that are relevant to contemporary nursing practice, with a strong emphasis on 'meaning-making' - what things really mean; how this meaning is established; why particular knowledge is necessary or important; and how all this informs your road to nursing, your ongoing learning, practice and professional identity-formation and your conception of what it really means to be and act as a nurse. This final chapter weaves together some of the key focus areas that have made up this 'journey', using stories from practice that may provide you with some further insights to guide you on your path to becoming a skilled and experienced nurse. The second part of this chapter will focus your attention on the fact that once you enter the profession as a beginning-level nurse, this is not the end of your journey; it is only the first stage of your career. There are many options and learning opportunities that can further your career and assist you to develop into an expert nurse across a range of settings. The last part of this chapter will focus on how you can contribute to the further development of the nursing profession by role-modelling and promoting nursing, mentoring and supporting others, and developing and sharing your skills and knowledge with new generations of nurses.
